The ageut of a <-ertuln popular automobile
made a sale to a Swedish farmer
In a small town near Topeka. In
111* Instructions to the purchaser he
aai'l: ' You must 1* careful."
"Ay skall do dat."
"Also for the first SOU miles jrou
must drive slowly?not over 15 miles
an hour?or you will burn out your
bearings."
"Ay do dat. too." said Ole.
"Your car has two gears, high and
low. If you want to go fast put 'er

"Yas, siree, you ran hot on Ole?wf

no."
The next day the neighbors notice 1
(tie driving his new car up nnrl down
the road in "low." He kept It up until
it began to snort and steam anil
was developing a terrific knock.
"file, you mustn't do that, don't you j
know you'll ruin your car thut way?
you'll burn up the hearings." they cart- !
tinned him.

CAUSE OF CANCER UNKNOWN
Oread Diseas* Has Baffled the Beet
Efforts of the Medical Fraternity
for Centuriee.
Medical science today knows no
more about the reuse of cancer than
was known 1,000 years ago.
Some families seem to be lmronne.
In other families deaths from cancer
occur In generation after generation,
as If to show u hereditary tendency.
There are many so-called "cancer
houses," In which deaths from the disease
have occurred with such lamentable
repetition as to destroy their market
value for selling or renting purposes.
An evil repute attaches to certain
well-known "cancer districts," In
which the death rate from this malady
Is extraordinarily high. There Is one
such district In the Berkshlres of Massachusetts,
another Is In the middle of
New York state.
One of the many theories regarding
the cause of cancer is that It Is nt- (
trihutahle to an undiscovered germ,
carried by the bedbug or some other
Insect. If that were correct, the disease
would surely he more prevalent j
among the slum-dwelling poor than j
among well-to-do people who enjoy the
benefit of sanitary surroundings. But j
such Is not the case; cancer Is as |
common among the rich as in the tene- j
mint ami poorer quarters of our cities. '

Early English History.
The reJlSilll lllill III., Vimnwiii 1
quest did not subjugate the English j
is rxplnlnetl l>y the fact that "Jutes,
Anglos, Saxons, Danes and Normans"
were all kindred in race and so they
united in one rare; the Welsh, Irish
and Seois were of the Celtic race. The
Xortuans were not Frenchmen ia the
beginning but pirates from Scandinavia,
who had come to France Mini
had been given a tract of land. They
adopted the French language and became
in time the most courteous and
loble people in Kurope, but when tbey
xoti the battle of Hastings, they were
more nearly akin to the English or
Anglo-Saxons than to the French, although
they brought tho French language
to England, and many of their
words were Incorporated Into the language.
Because of raciul differences
the Welsh, Irish and Scotch did not i
unite with the English as easily, but
the centuries have obliterated many :
racial characteristics because of many j

HARD TO CREDIT THIS STORY j
If Trus, Howevsr, It 8hows the Re- 4
markabls Subtlety of the Mind of Q
the Oriental. I
\
One Ingenious if dishonest native of .
India turned his dark skin to excellent
account. One of the Kuropean examiners
of Calcutta university, says Lord
Frederic Hamilton in his hook "Daya
Before Yesterday," told tne that there
had been a great deal of trouble about j
the examination papers; by some
means or other the native students always
managed to obtain what we may
term "advance" copies of the papers. 1
My Informant had accordingly devised ;
a scheme to stop the leakage. Instead
of having the papers printed in the
iisinil fashion he called in the services ,
of n single white printer on whom he ^
could rely. The white printer received |
the papers early on tin* morning of the I
duy designated for the examination II
urn! duly set them up on a hand press ' I
inside tlie building, lie had one as- ^
slstant, a coolie who was clad only in |
loin cloth unj turban ; by no possibility j
could he conceal any papers about his I
tiorwnn j I
In spite of these precautions, how- I
ever, it soon became clear at the ex- 11
ainination that some of the students I
had u previous knowledge of the yues- |
lions. How had tliey uiauaged it? I
lOvcutnaily il appeared that the coolie, ,3
taking advantage of tile momentary I
absence of the white printer, had II
whipped off ids loin cloth, sat down I J
no the "fot u" and tlten replaced his ' J
solitary garment. When he was 11
obliged to strip on going out the ' f
printing ink did not show on Ids dark ! f
skin; and all that he had to do was to 2
sit down on a large sheet of white |
paper /<>r the questions to be printed j
off on it. Then, with the uld of u mlr- i
ror, the students could euslly reud
the-in. The oriental mind is subtle.
CHINESE BUY OFF BRIGANDS 1
i
Bandit Chieftains, When They Get Tee
Powerful, Are Dealt With In
Peculiar Fashion.
Custom has prescribed a convention'
a! solution of the problem of brigand- I
age in China. When a brigand has ,
gene beyond the orthodox limits In
the terrorizatlon of the region In
which he operates, the government
sets out to "suppress" hlui. It does
so, in the usual way, by burgulnlng.
Troops are moved, though not too
close, and negotiations are opened '
with the bandit leader. He offers to
go the way of good citizenship In exchange
for an appointment as gov- j
ernor of a province. The governor
offers to make him a general. They
compromise on his appointment as
brigade commander with a station T
rich and ripe for the plucking. When
negotiations have been satisfactorily
consummated, the government troops
are brought up. They launch an at- ^
tack upon the bandits, fire into the
atr for a few minutes and then withdraw.
Official proclamation Is made;
tli* bandits have been dispersed and r
nnlpr Ami tlm fnmtpr Imrwllt t
chieftain finds that "squeeze" is far 1
more profitable than robbery?ami |
much less hazardous.
Such is the history of not a few
of the outstanding notables in contemporary
Chinese public life.
His Ailment Diagnosed.
"Water!" yelled the fervent orator.
"Aqua, aqua !" he shouted, lapsing Into
Latin, Ids mother tongue. "Aqua
purn ! Ti e greatest gift of Nature to I
thirsty man! What would the ocean
he without water? Answer me that? j
What?"
That question had never struck ids j
audience before-. They (Hindered in |
silence.
"Water!" cried the orator again, j
"What would Niagara falls he without
water?"
Another stupendous question. His ;
audience stirred restlessly; his arguments
were too much for then).
"Of what use," screamed the speaker,
"would our bathtubs be without
cieaD, beautiful water?"
As one man the audience turned and
left the hall, perhaps to consider outaide
the orator's brainy conundrums,
but one ignorant fellow said to another
;
"That man has water on the brain!"
?Houston Post.
The Shapes of Eggs.
An expert recently entertained the i
Zoological society of London with a
mathematical discussion of the differences
in the shape of eggs. A few
eggs, like those of the owl and the
tortoise, are spherical or nearly so; a
few, like the grebe's or the cormorant's
are elliptical, with symmetrical
ends; the great majority, like the |
hen's, are ovoid, or blunter tit one end |
inHn nt uie ntner.
The hen's eggs are always luld j
hlunt end foremost. Eggs which nre '
the most unsymmetrlcnl are also eggs j
of large size relatively to the parent
birds. The yolks of eggs are spherical, |
whatever the form of the entire egg >
may be. This is shown to be due to
their being enclosed In n fluid, the j
"white," which makes the pressure
everywhere on the surface of the yolk
practically constant.
